Starting an Orchestration

When you start an orchestration, the objects defined in it are created. You start an orchestration that is in ready or stopped state.

  1. Log in to the UI and go to the Self Service Portal.
  2. In the Self Service Portal, click the Home tab.
  3. Select the orchestration that you want to start.
  4. From the Actions menu, select Start.
  5. To confirm the start action, click Yes.
When all the objects defined in the orchestration are created, the orchestration state changes to Ready. When an orchestration cannot create an object defined in it, the state of the orchestration changes to Error. Identify and fix the problem in the orchestration and start the orchestration again.

Starting an Orchestration Using the CLI or API

Use the following command to start a new or stopped orchestration:

oracle-compute start orchestration name

To start an orchestration using the API, use the PUT https://api.oc.example.com/orchestration/name?action=START method. You must first add an orchestration using the POST https://api.oc.example.com/orchestration/ method.
